Today James Hird met with former Essendon president Paul Little and club champion and ex-director Kevin Sheedy over lunch in South Yarra.
Old Essendon in full swing as Hird’s push to coach the Bombers ramps up!

I’d sign him for four right now, but my guess is he’ll back himself to be worth much more at 28 years old than he can ask for today with 10 games under his belt.
Pleased they’re getting this done early, far out he’s good.
Cracking a walnut with a sledgehammer here. It’s a fringe case that benefits the team who already earned the lead over the course of hours.
What if a bloke has a legit ping from 60m, and Liam Ryan takes mark of the century on the goal line? Is that play on now is it?
“What if he takes his 30 seconds then spots up a target instead?”
Don’t give up two uncontested marks close to goal in a game you’re trying to chase down?

AFL footy boss Greg Swann tells #AFL360 two possible rule changes have been discussed after the Harry McKay shot clock drama from Sunday night.

@greenlitaccount@fromthe_topdeck@CapitalCityCody So if I’m reading this right, Eagles are -17 per game during the time Yeo is on the field.
But the Eagles obviously concede a lot of points. Do we have the next layer down ie if that -17 is better than how they track for the periods without him?
@greenlitaccount@fromthe_topdeck@CapitalCityCody Wonder how much of this has to do with the way AFL do interchanges.
Stars taking the chance to go the bench during his own team’s set shot, versus wanting to keep Bont out there for the next clearance if oppo have a set shot.
Feel like it miiight be usable for high TOG% KPPs.

Well played, AFL House.
The AFL will tell clubs today that TV ratings are up 4.9 per cent, every Thursday game has exceeded 1.1m viewers, attendances are off the charts. Yet the game has never been more criticised. Are those people just louder or are they angry but still showing up and watching in increased numbers? https://t.co/89AhTL5q6w
So I just rewatched the final 3 minutes of the #AFLSwansSaints game. And it's confirmed, Darcy's non goal was actually a goal. Cleared the line by roughly a foot. No review, nothing. Extraordinary that nobody in the media or commentary team has picked this up.
Eagles posting this the exact moment Daicos gets run down and the “we-train-the-close-ones” Pies lose another.
Best 27 seconds of my life since [redacted].
Reubs has been advised that he will not require surgery at this stage. Timeframe for his return to play will come as his recovery progresses.

Pendlebury going to start a fight next to the stretcher again?
Or does that not apply when his teammates are concussing blokes with a textbook Death Rider?
@Tedthekelpie Preseason I’d have said:
Ginbey-Edwards-Hough
McCarthy-Young-Starcevich
With Baker as the seventh and knowing he’s used as Swiss army all over the field as well.
Edwards has played 25 total minutes this year due to three concussions. Starcevich season debut on the weekend.
@sashariddles This was late in the third, four in a row where you just think “you can’t pay that”. Getting duped by obvious ducks, holding the balls with absolutely no chance, a blocking free kick paid against a guy who marked in front of goal, all sorts.
